Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: How To Keep Your Dogs Happy and Healthy

I have a large Great Dane and 2 little Weenie
Dogs. It is a constant challenge to keep them
healthy and happy. Exercise and proper feeding is
the key. With every dog comes the responsibility
that owners must take in order to give that dog a
happy, healthy home.. Sometimes dogs may not get
the care they deserve because their owners are
too busy with their own day to day activities.

There are so many things that you can do to keep
your dog healthy and in shape, it just takes a
little time and effort on your part. I'd like to
share with you a few quick and easy ways that I
have found help to keep my dogs in shape and
healthy.

Hopefully you'll be able to take my advice and
build upon it to provide your pet a happy and
healthy lifestyle. One of the most important
ways, in my opinion, to keep your dog healthy and
in shape is by having them get plenty of
exercise. My wife and I love to take our dogs for
walks not only because it's a great opportunity
for them to get the exercise they need, but it
gives my wife and I another great opportunity to
chat about anything that may be on our minds.
It's a great bonding time for us and for the
dogs, plus the benefit of getting exercise at the
same time. We usually try to take a couple 30
minute walks each day.

There are other ways that you can help your dog
get the exercise he or she needs. Playing fetch
with tennis balls and other dog toys, going to
the lake for a swim, and my personal favorite,
grouse hunting, are other great ways for getting
exercise. The important thing to remember is that
daily exercise helps promote good health.

Another way of keeping your dog healthy is a
healthy diet. I've had great luck with our dog's
health by maintaining consistency in what they
are being fed. I've learned that sticking with a
good brand of dry dog food is generally a good
way to have a healthy diet and it's typically not
advised to switch brands too often. Switching
brands can sometimes upset your pet's digestive
pattern and can be disruptive to their overall
eating habits. We tend to stay away from excess
treats and other rawhides because they too can
sometimes be upsetting to a dog's overall
digestive process. So in many cases, being
consistent when it comes to your dog's diet can
be a great way to keep your dog healthy.

The final tip for keeping your dog healthy is
also related to your dog's diet, not what type of
diet, but the portioning of your dog's diet. We
recently switched our dogs to a two-a-day meal
plan which means they're being fed once in the
morning, and once in the late afternoon. They are
still receiving the same portion size, but it's
split up into two separate meals. This has proven
to be very effective, and our dogs appear to be
much more energetic and have also trimmed some
excess weight off the edges. I am not claiming
that this is the right type of diet for your dog,
nor am I saying you should feed your dogs in
this manner. Obviously, every dog is unique and
it may or may not be suitable for your dog, so
you should consult your veterinarian first before
trying this type of feeding schedule.

I love my dogs and want them to enjoy life.These
are just a few tips for keeping your dog in shape
and require little, if any, time to carry out.
Combine these with the day to day love and
affection that you show your dogs, and they'll be
well on their way to being a happy and healthy
pet.
